Virginia Tech Invitational Entry Instructions

Entry Limitations

Each school is permitted to enter one athlete per event and one relay team per relay. Each athlete may enter 3 events total, running, field and relay. This is regardless of seed mark. A school may enter 2 athletes in an event if both athletes have met the qualifying standard listed below during the 2005-06 Indoor season. This mark must be auto-timed in a running event. All results must be in a verifiable meet listed on Dyestat or the Milesplit network. If both athletes met this standard in the 2005 State Indoor Meet and the meet was auto-timed, the standard has been met. In the 1600 and 3200 meter runs, a school may enter two athletes if they both placed in the top 10 in the listed state association 2005 State Championship Cross Country meets.

Penalty for Falsified Entry

Any entry that is not verified in the prescribed manner will cause the entering school to forfeit both entries in that event. The disqualified athletes will have that event count against the competition limit of 3 events. REMOVE - Lie and you Lose!
